    I am looking at the following 2014 FF

    Used 2014 Ferrari FF . - Near Woodland Hills CA - Maserati Woodland Hills

    Few question for those who know this stuff:

    1) What is a good price?

    2) Recommendation for PPI in Los Angeles.

    3) Can I buy Ferrari Extended warranty after I acquire the car (this is not a CPO). If so, how does it work.

    Your help is much appreciated.

    This is a higher mileage example so look at other advertisements for similar FF models and compare the prices. That will give you a good understanding of the market place. Some buyers don't keep their new Ferrari very long and less than 1,000 miles is not uncommon for a vehicle being resold by the dealer. However for long term owners they tend to drive the FF more than say an F12 but with Ferrari mileage is king and color follows close behind in consideration of the price. Some FF models are loaded with options including special paint so there are a few bargains out there but you have to dig for them.
    Happy Hunting!

    I just went to Palm Springs in 1:19 mins from the east side, and back the next day to Malibu and now home. Best practical GT ever.

    Thanks for the input.

    The CPOs are a little more expensive. Seems like it would give more peace of mind. What is the prevailing wisdom?

    CPO is usually a year of New Power pre paid, check it

    3 year warranty always so 2015 is newer yes.

    That dealer gets some odd cars. They had that Neiman Marcus 1 of 10 designer grey FF and had a hard time moving it.

    It's priced ok IMO yet that's an odd duck so they will be happy to see you. You should be aggressive in your offers.

    LED wheel with no carbon very rare (in a bad way IMO) Painted dash very rare (in a bad way in this build IMO) triple layer metallic paint (a beautiful 30k option yet impossible to touch up)

    As a daily driver I would want this car fully wrapped to protect the paint. One chip and you can't fill it or touch up. Beautiful color, new in 05 with the 430 I'm reading on a quick search.

    Thanks.

    Very helpful. Impossible to touch up sounds scary. I am told that the paint is perfect and the front end is wrapped.

    What do you consider aggressive? 185? 180?

    It's up to you, I'm out of touch on the FF market. 5% always seems reasonable to ask. It's not like this is a convertible in summer time. Best time to buy a FF has to be July? Any of these prices are good IMO. I paid 250 two years ago for a similar 1 year old car that was 360 new and don't regret it one bit. These cars will bounce at 150 in time.

    If it's wrapped some then you just do the rest. It's a good look.

    Bottom line, you have to love the car. You're buying a Ferrari, and an amazing one at that ... not a normal purchase. Get something you're excited about and don't fret the deal so much that it gets in the way.

    What's the reason for this? I'll venture to guess it's because people don't think about winter and slippery road in July.

    Mirali-- BrianL comments are really excellent. As to timing now, take note that many 2016s are coming on the market now with low miles and the 2017 lineup is being pushed. Impact may be another drop in prices a notch.

    So Mirali, did you buy the FF? Curious why if you didn't both seemed like good deals?

    I like that build. Looks very comfy inside and the colored dash is unusual.
